SledgeSafe

SledgeSafe is a heavy duty mobile barrier intended to demonstrate hazardous working areas and provide localised protection to personnel on construction sites: the system complies with BS EN 13374: 2004 Class A.The heavy freestanding base unit incorporates the lightweight, flexible Groundforce EdgeSafe mesh barrier for ease of assembly.

SurroundSafe

SurroundSafe is a range of platform units available to aid compliance with Working at Height Regulations during the placement of the concrete surrounds to manhole rings. The unit sits on top of the manhole rings and allows users to work safely at height whilst discharging concrete into manhole shutters. Each SurroundSafe is constructed of a combination of standard handrail panels, a single gate panel and a base panel.

Trench Box

A trench box is generally the first choice for the rapid shoring of trench runs due to the speed and simplicity of installation. They are typically suitable for use in trenches up to 4.9m wide x 6.6m deep in reasonable ground conditions, they are not recommended in unmanaged, waterlogged ground. Groundforce offer a wide range of trench box sizes with various strut types, providing a safe solution on site. A trench box is versatile, cost-effective and provide an excellent way of protecting workers from excavation wall collapse while carrying out groundworks. They can easily be stacked and used in multiple runs, which also makes them the ideal shoring method for continuously supporting an extended length of trench. Some of the key benefits are:

Manhole Box

A manhole box is similar to a trench box in it's basic function, but they incorporate integral end return panels for extra ground support when placing pre-cast manhole rings, as an alternative to sheets and frames. There are five available sizes catering to common manhole ring sizes. They can be quickly assembled and installed without an operator needing to enter the unsupported excavation, supporting trenches up to 5.5m using the base module and various struts. Ideal for most ground conditions.
